Overview

Why visit Patkuli Viewing Platform

Open viewpoint over medieval walls, towers and the Old Town skyline.

What to see

Look out over the Old Town’s walls, towers and skyline. This is a useful pause during an upper-town walk, with a view different from the nearby Kohtuotsa platform.

Plan your visit

Official tourism lists year-round access. Reach the platform by its upper-town street address or use the 157-step stairway from Toompark by Snelli pond. The stairway is not a step-free route; choose your approach before setting out.
